leveling this build has been incredibly frustrating. I found it best to get a +1 4/5 link bow and level with blast rain.
I'm currently lvl 52 and have a 5l +2 bow crafted with a lvl 1 empower im leveling up.

I just transitioned into using ca but I'm having a hard time, my caustic cloud only does like 1.2k dmg per second and I find it takes forever to kill things. Also very spongy. Overcapped resistances and like 48% evasion 2k life but still getting rekt by everything.

Any help or tips appreciated

Slower proj instead of Increased Duration. That'll help your dps.

The build does kinda move slowly until ~level 68/69 or so, when you get level 17 CA. Then it starts to pick up.

As for squishiness, at the time of your post you were rather lacking in life on gear (4+ slots that could use a serious upgrade) and while you didn't post your flasks, the #1 thing that you probably are missing is a hallowed+ life flask with the "Seething" prefix. Instant life recovery is so clutch for this build.

I always run with two.



Not the suffix I want on the poison one, but whatever. It's the prefix that's so clutch for surviving.

it may be a bit slow, but I found lvling quite fun, using a silverbranch 4L and CA from the start. No worries all the way through.

Would this work with Pathfinder?

Yes, Casutic Arrow builds can work with Pathfinder...

The passive tree is essentially unchanged between starting as a Scion or starting as a Ranger. The bigger question is what would you be getting specifically from the Pathfinder Ascendancy? All of the flask nodes are incredibly strong, but are you fine sacrificing damage, area, extra passive points, and an easier time gearing for the Intelligence gems?

Grocery, and a few other users, have good damage/survive focused builds here in the ranger section of the forums. I'd recommend looking in to those threads if you wanted more input on starting as Ranger.

I was thinking with the combination of Dying Sun Ruby Flask and WitchFire Brew Stibnite. With Caustic arrow and Pathfinder you would gain back some of the damage lost from dead eye. But wasnt sure

Ohh right I forgot about the ruby flask. I'd be interested in seeing this tested(or the math) as well, I just don't think anyone has done it yet.
